Efficient project management with roadmap and hierarchy features
I use Broadcom Clarity for end-to-end project and program portfolio management Every customer has achieved a return on investment within the first six months of implementation with Broadcom Clarity. The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity are the roadmap feature and the hierarchy feature,…

Good reporting, quick configurations, and helpful support
It's a cloud-based setup, so there's no challenge in getting everything up and running. The downtime should be minimal. I'd rate the process nine out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. There is a three-month implementation exercise that we control. We have five people who were part of the implementation and maintenance process. They are admins and web developers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very good out of the box, without configurations required."
"It makes the whole lifecycle of project management a lot easier than using the legacy systems, which we are retiring every few months because of PPM."
"The most valuable solutions for us are being able to share data across the organization to help use technology to drive our processes."
"We have used CA support and they are perfect."
"It allows me to keep track of the projects, residual location, it gives me the ease of getting status reports out, and checking risks and issues."
"For us, what gave us a level of confidence was the investment and the transparency that CA showed in relation to their product roadmap, and where they want to take it."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is better than Planisware because they have the multi-road mapping feature."
"Nowadays, we have all managerial projects information into CA PPM solution, managed and administrated by planners and PMO roles, so we can report projects to all stakeholders in the same format with good information, besides having a unique and trustworthy repository."
"The reporting part is very good."
 

Cons

"Reporting is not good as they keep on changing reporting environment."
"Ironically, since going to the on-demand solution, we have had some inexplicable data and behaviour on our projects."
"Many of our clients were not using some of these features, because of complexity and less customization facility, and I would like to see OOTB portlets on this product."
"​I would like to be able to do time submission and time approvals on mobile rather than have to go in the system."
"We use JIRA, so I'd definitely want PPM integrated with that."
"Technical support has been average. A lot of times, it takes a couple of days before we even get a decent response, or something that gets us closer."
"The architecture must be improved."
"There are some bumps in the road. Maybe these are more related to functionality, or things that appear on the way that you need to learn."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price point of Broadcom Clarity PPM is less than Planisware. If a customer comes to me, and the cost is the main parameter for the selection of a tool, then I'll recommend Broadcom because cost-wise, they are less than other solutions."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"It is a little bit costly compared to others, but it is mature. Customer should understand this product is geared towards project management, not financial management."
"For all the functionalities of the solution, the price is in the market range, since it is a product which offers governance issues and supports the digital transformation, which is where we will go in the next year."
"It is hard for them to say, "I have a person on my team who is going to be available, I am going to move that task to them". That requires a project management license, it doesn't require a team member license, so the licensing model does not sometimes support the way the business world is going."
"There are different licensing models with Broadcom Clarity PPM. With the software as a service model, you pay as you go, and if you are on-premises, you can buy a perpetual license and an annual fee for maintenance."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
